Arsenal full-back Jurriën Timber has become the latest player to criticise the fixture schedule, saying he totally agrees with comments made by injured Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
Spain's Rodri, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Premier League clash against Arsenal earlier this month, warned of possible strike action as players face an expanded Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup.
Timber missed most of last season with a cruciate knee ligament injury but has played in all six of Arsenal's Premier League games this season, and is expected to start against Paris Saint-Germain at home in the Champions League on Tuesday.
"I totally agree with them," Timber told reporters when asked about Rodri's comments. "It's a big topic in dressing rooms. I didn't play last season so I'm just enjoying playing now. I totally understand what they're saying.
"Definitely was a bit emotional after the game. Let's see how he is today," Arteta said.
